Congratulations to NAIS Pudong's Charlie, who recently achieved an A* in IGCSE Mathematics as an early entry candidate (when he's in Year 10), sitting his exam a full year ahead of his peers.
This outstanding result reflects not only Charlie’s talented ability, but also the way our school supports and challenges academically gifted students to reach their highest potential.
Charlie joined our school in 2021 and quickly demonstrated his exceptional talent in Mathematics. His success came through a thoughtful approach to learning, focusing on understanding concepts rather than relying on memorisation. With the guidance of his teachers, Charlie developed the ability to apply his knowledge to complex problems and refined his skills with past paper practice.
Beyond the classroom, Charlie is a well-rounded student who contributes to school life in many ways. He has taken part in international competitions such as the American Mathematics Competition and the Waterloo Mathematics and Computing Contest, and has also represented the school on the basketball and volleyball teams.
At NAIS Pudong, we are proud to offer a clear Maths Pathway for students who excel in this subject. Talented mathematicians are identified during Key Stage 3, offered the chance to take IGCSE Mathematics early in Year 10, and then progress on to IBDP Higher Level Mathematics. Many of our students follow this pathway through to graduation, going on to study at top universities around the world.
Looking ahead, Charlie will continue to challenge himself by taking IBDP Higher Level Mathematics, with ambitions to pursue a mathematics-related degree at university. His journey shows what can be achieved when talent, curiosity and support come together.
We are proud of Charlie’s remarkable achievement and look forward to following his success in the years ahead.
